Semper Fidelis Always Faithful

In the poignant collection of poetry Semper Fidelis "Always Faithful," love comes full circle as poet E. Lee Zhou beautifully expresses heartfelt emotions about love lost, love found, and love reborn. Zhou first found her voice as a poet during a long recuperation from a heart ailment. She now openly shares the kind of lyrical verse that anyone can relate to no matter what their age or relationship experience. Zhou begins her collection with poetry written for those who have lost a loved one through infidelity, separation, divorce, or death and continues her journey into the heartrending moments of longing for someone to love, the invigorating heights of newly-discovered love, the bittersweet feeling after discovering unattainable love, and the joyful rebirth that accompanies new love. She concludes her journey with an emotional portrayal of a wife's tragic loss of her husband during the 9-11 tragedy and a child's pain after losing both parents. Everyone longs to have a lasting relationship with someone they adore. Zhou's poems each tell a separate story of their own, all while illustrating that no matter how great the loss, the heart has the ability to adapt; heal, trust again, ultimately finding its way back to true love.
